Don’t they also have very fixed economic caste systems with very little ability to move up in life?

Ah, that must be why all the migrant caravans magically stopped and all the children in cages are so much happier now.

Turns out it wasn't a completely overblown fictitious narrative by a media who cling to anything to make a current administration look bad, they are actually all just much happier staying put in Mexico

Do you really think that our current economic structure is solely the result of three and a half years of Trump being President?

I have guaranteed vacation time, great healthcare, and don't work 40 hours a week. 

I work over 40 hours many weeks but not always. I have good healthcare and 27 days of PTO per year

Yea the conservatively governed cities like Chicago, Portland , Seattle, ATL and New York seem to really be thriving.


If they could only be more like conservative strongholds like... Livingston parish?

The government has been working their arse off to up that misery index:
NO bars
NO vacations
NO church
NO gathering
MASKS all the time
NO hope...this is your new normal...this is your life now
The country is burning and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

Like the Scandinavian countries which aren't socialist and have relatively small, homogeneous populations?

US citizens to begin flooding Mexico as illegal migrants?


Perhaps this was the plan to have Mexico build the wall!

Wait so Trump got the credit for his “amazing economy” but is protected from blame when it crashes?

You know you are free to go to the "other places" aren't you?

Go live in your other place then.

I bet you don't have the balls.

Joe Biden has been in Washington for like 50 years. He’s a shill of the credit card companies and other Delaware corporate money interests. Joe Biden, a senile husk of a man, is a perfect representative of the US ruling class.

Unless you think Trump caused this pandemic, it's pretty fair to not think the economic downturn was due to him.

LOL, what percentage of people are moving up in life in modern America? It's a myth perpetuated by exceptions and not rules.

Hey buddy, if you just keep grinding it out you too can be Bill Gates!

Trump caused covid and crashed the economy to cover up the 5G rollout.

Everyone knows this.

He's everything that's wrong with US politics. He's basically a John McCain type of candidate

More fake news. Before the Chinese flu America had the lowest unemployment in history.
Also we are building a wall to keep people out not keep people in.

I agree, but it’s affecting everyone, not just the US.
